Dear Surendar,

Thank you for your question. To answer this question is difficult because this topic is very complex. If you ask for a first screening you should look to the “Screening Procedures” of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria, Appendix 6 (https://www.unece.org/trans/areas-of-work/dangerous-goods/legal-instruments-and-recommendations/un-manual-of-tests-and-criteria/rev6-files.html).

Generally speaking a substance can have explosive properties because of its chemical composition. You can define different substance classes with common structural features which might show explosive properties. 

The DSC is good for a first screening, because it shows the decomposition energy of the substance. But I strictly suggest to measure it in a closed cell. Therefore TG is not a god choice for the investigation of explosive properties. 

I hope this answer is of help for you.

Best regards,

Klaus-Dieter Wehrstedt
